Sunny will not be returning for a second season. According to Screen Daily, Apple TV+ has cancelled the science-fiction drama series after only one season. The first season of Sunny ended in September with a cliffhanger.
Rashida Jones, Joanna Sotomura, You, Annie, Judy Ongg, and Jun Kunimura star in the Apple TV+ series. The story follows Suzie Sakamoto, an American woman (Jones) living in Kyoto who has been gifted a domestic robot after her husband and son have died in a mysterious plane crash.
Created by Katie Robbins and inspired by the Colin O’Sullivan novel The Dark Manual, season one follows the woman as she develops a friendship with Sunny and investigates what happened to her husband and son.
The first season of ten episodes was filmed entirely in Japan and was released between July and September of this year.
What do you think? Did you watch Sunny? Were you hoping for a second season?
Like one of those B movies you keep watching and then ask yourself why? Now I’m looking for a second series, go figure
I loved the series Sunny! So different and smart! Jones has always been one of my favorites. Very disappointed they canceled this and have dragged their feet on Severence, two outstanding series in every way….actors directors and stories. Yet a crap series like Lasso is going strong. ♀️
That’s really such a shame. The show as fantastic, and the climax was brilliant. The finale had the kind of “oh everything is all fitting together and this is brilliant” that you normally get from a Doctor Who finale. (The show is not really that similar to Doctor Who aside from being somewhat Sci-Fi to be clear.) It was so clever and really one of the best shows Apple had. It’s a shame it didn’t find an audience.
This really stinks. I loved where this show was going and was looking forward to another season after the cliffhanger. I’m so tired of these networks and streaming services not giving the best shows a chance.
They’ve never even given it a chance!
Personally I think Rashida wasn’t miscast, but the plot device didn’t convince the majority. For a limited series it looks promising to me, because I appreaciate her talents and that was shown during the course of her former hit-show parody of a detective duo in the veins of POLICE SQUAD and THE NAKED GUN.
